Rangers Netball Club

Another Rangers girl achieves at representative level.

Rangers 5 player, Rebekah Rounds has recently been representing Queensland in Melbourne at the National School Girl competition.  Her team finished 3rd.

Bek was selected in a composite district team then made the Met East Team and finally represented Qld.

What a great effort – Well done Bek!

Well done Western Districts – we showed the State how to put on a carnival.  Thank you to all our families who made it a success by helping with set-up, pack-up or cheering for the girls.  Well done to all our Rangers girls who competed.

A wrap of the day:

• 12 Yrs Red – Kate and Lauren Ward finished the day with a 50/50 win ratio.  In a strong division they finished 5th from 10 teams.
• 12 Yrs Black – Grace Bobbermien & Meg Crisafulli WON THEIR DIVISION – great effort by our girls.
• 13 Yrs Red – Sophie Jenkins started the day with a win and lost the next by 1 goal in what was one of the best games of the day -with Sophie in the ‘C’ bib they looked good.
• 13 Yrs Black – Imogen Cottell had a great carnival and her team finished 8 from 17 teams.  From the side lines I lost count of Imo’s intercepts.
• 14 Yrs Div 1 – Lillian Sleiman  also had some exciting games and with the many spectators cheering wildly they played some great netball.  They knocked off the top team today but finished 4th from 14 teams.  Great effort!
• 15 Yrs Div 1 - Briana Hura WON THEIR DIVISION!  They went through the Carnival undefeated.  Well done Briana, Rangers is proud of your efforts.
• Umpire – Emily Turner had a long three days with the whistle and received compliments from officials for her efforts.  She was lucky enough to be coached by our own Rangers National A Badge Umpires, Susan Bamford and Caroline Stevens.  Thanks to all the Umpires at the Carnival.

With the lights finally turned off at the Challenge Carnival after the last game at 7.30pm our tired netballers headed home before they do it all again tomorrow on the last day.

Don’t forget Rangers is on Pack Up duty between 2pm-4pm tomorrow. Anyone willing to help come on down and get some points for our Club.

We may be biased but we thought the Rangers girls looked the best on court today. Particularly nice to see was all the support from other Rangers girls and their families.  See more photos on  our Facebook page  www.facebook.com/rangersnetballclub

Here is an update from the day:

Lauren & Kate Ward (happy birthday for today girls) team 12 Yrs Red – are right in with a chance having won 3 from 6.

Grace Bobbermien and Meg Crisfulli’s team 12 Yrs Black had a great day and are at the top of their ladder with 5 wins and 1 draw

Sophie Jenkins’ team – 13 Yrs Div 1 struggled in a very strong competition but were competitive throughout the day

Imogen Cottell in 13 Yrs Div 2 are sitting at 7^th from 17 on the ladder so anything could happen tomorrow.

Lillian Sleiman in the 14s Div 1 looked impressive today and are 3^rd on the ladder.

Briana Hura – 15s Div 1 team have been undefeated so looking good for tomorrow.

Emily Turner – our newly badged National Umpire was asked to umpire at the Carnival and has been doing Rangers proud.

Well the Challenge Carnival is this weekend and our Wests teams and especially our Rangers girls competing are excited that it is finally here.  Why not come down and watch/support our girls competing – it should be a great competition. Really too much netball is never enough!

Rangers is on Set Up Duty on Thursday 10 July.  So any volunteers who are free during the day from 8.00am please come down and help.  We are also rostered on for Pack up on Sunday 13 July from 2pm.  Don’t forget Rangers receives points for your time which can be used to help our club.

To ensure we receive the points the volunteer must sign in and out when they volunteer. The sign in sheet will be at the Club House window beside where we collect score cards normally. So don’t waste that volunteer time sign in when you arrive and say you are from Rangers.

But wait there is more – if anyone (especially Challenge parents) who want to volunteer during the weekend, eg Canteen Duty you can receive free car parking and the club receives the points. Just take your parking ticket, which you will receive once you have paid, and when you sign out from your volunteer shift they will refund your money. You must do two hours volunteering to get your money back.  So don’t forget to sign in!
